If you’re a Trump supporter who defrauds the staff of a nursing home to buy a yacht, Trump will pardon you and forgive your debt.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Northwest Missouri State University just dissolved its DEI program.

Maryville is over 90% white. The DEI program was a life-saver for many students of color. Before the program, Black students didn’t even have a place in town to get their hair cut. This is so incredibly harmful.

Meanwhile, many Missouri rural public schools run a 4-day week and lack air conditioning in their classrooms…
These are the kinds of private, religious schools that are receiving public funding via Missouri Republican’s voucher scam. It seems to me that those tax dollars could be put to better use in our underfunded public schools. #MoLeg

I wonder how Rep Senator Tim Young is feeling right now. The Revenge Tariffs from Columbia are really bad for our farmers (and also bad for Colombia. 96.7 % of their corn for livestock comes from the USA )

Again I think this ends fast. But it’s interesting
